Been doing well the last few days if not more. Cleaned the yard yesterday, raked and burned leaves. Had old friends come by, and had a good night..woke up this morning and got my daughter off to school, and started feeling yucky..My stomach is wanting to act up on me, and it has been good. Took my medicine for that already, and hoping it will kick in. Feeling lightheaded, and just foggy. Tired, and starting to get some anxiety now, because I just don't feel right today. Got more to do today also, so I don't have time to feel like crap. I get so tired, like everyone else, to be having good days, and then BAM, hits ya..had to take a xanax already and I usually don't have to take one unless it gets bad. Really don't know why I'm feeling like crap, but just wanted to get it out..I know I'm a little stuffy today, and that might be from burning the leaves..Thanks for listening. Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Feeling like "crap" is always nasty and I am with you, I don't have time to feel like crap and I really do not have time to feel anxious.

The symptoms of anxiety tend to wax and wane and just when we feel good and excited that perhaps it has left us for good, here we are not feeling as good as we would prefer.

Do what you can today and no beating yourself up for having less energy than yesterday.  Be kind to yourself as you are a very special person.

Hugs,

Kitt

Thank you kitt,
We all know to well how this feels, and it's ridiculous. I really love when I have the good days, and I am almost normal. Then wake up to a smack in the face to reality. Its quite ironic though, I can give other people advice and tell them to think positively, and focus on good things. But when it comes to taking my own advice however, it's always harder. Appreciate your kind words.

P.C.,

The day is not yet done!! I know that if I have a rough morning...I tend to think of it in terms of a 'bad day'...

...but it can have a turn around!!

Take some time to use your coping skills. Dedicate a solid twenty minutes to doing some deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and some meditation/positive visualization, and you may find yourself feeling better quickly!!

I hope that you find relief, and are returning to the good feelings that you were experiencing yesterday soon.:)

Hey Paddicake, I'm sorry you're feeling crap today. I too have good days when I feel quite well, then next day it changes and I feel not right again. It's so up and down drives me mad. I hope your day has improved. Sending hugs.

I think you may have missed something.

You said that you have good days and then get wacked when reality hits.

Well, remember those good days happen in reality too! You're not dreaming them.

That makes them a very valid part of your life! :)

Thank you guys, took a hot shower and just let the water run for a while. Merrida, it just seems anymore that my reality is I will always have something pop up and ruin my good days..I am feeling better though, thanks for everyones support. I appreciate it, and that's why I like getting on here, when I am feeling bad. It always helps for some reason. No it doesn't take my symptoms away, but being on here, does make it more tolerable.
